Skincare

Beauty is skin deep, which is why it’s important to know the ingredients that go into our products and, in turn, our bodies.

We love good quality natural products that work and we believe that a good skin care routine needs to include the whole body.

In holistic skin care a person’s skin reflects their inner health. Philosophies such as homeopathy and naturopathy, states that skin conditions such as rosacea, acne, seborrhea, eczema, keratosis pilaris, psoriasis, loss of collagen and elastin, all begin inside of the body, like the digestive tract, or due to other issues like stress or an hormonal imbalance.

Please find some products below which we think may help with some common skin conditions.

Skin care Brand: NiaWhy we like it: They are 100% Irish and the products literally melt into your skin and best of all its so gentle and natural it can also be used on babies which is so handy if you have a little nipper running around. Our favourite Award winning product of theirs is the Just Balm, it is a 100% natural healing moisturiser which is totally free of all preservatives or additives. This mixture of natural skin friendly butters and oils is perfect for the treatment of all dry, itchy or sensitive skin conditions.

Essential oil: Rose essential oilWhy it works: Researcher has discovered that it contains many therapeutic compounds known to promote healing. It helps to refine the skin tone and texture and can support with managing skin conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis. Amazingly, a study even found that just inhaling rose essential oil can hinder water loss in the skin!

Skin care brand: TrilogyWhy we like it: Trilogy is very well known brand and we think it owes its popularity to the fact that the creams and oils really do work wonders. Their Age proof range includes Hyaluronic acid which in terms of fighting the inevitable wrinkles really does help. We also love their rose hip oil which has had many Independent clinical studies showing its effectiveness on fine lines and wrinkles.
